Walt Disney World: It's Not Just for Kids

Hotwire.com can be a great way to save money on your Orlando vacation.  With Hotwire, you do not see what hotel you are staying at until you pay (and it’s non-refundable).  I had gotten the Hyatt Orlando through Hotwire on my trip in 2008, and wanted to do so for my upcoming trip.

I  had a Costco rate for $125 at the Hyatt MCO. I hoped to get a rate through Hotwire for $99 or less.

Rate/Date 05/09-$129
Rate/Date 05/24-$129
Rate/Date 07/07$59 (3.5 *)
Rate/Date 07/09 $69 (4*)
Rate/Date 07/10 $69 (4*)
Rate/Date 07/12 $66 (4*)
Rate/Date 07/13 $69 (4*)
Rate/Date 07/14 $69 (4*)
Rate/Date 07/15 $73 (4*)

I ended up biting the bullet and buying it last night.  I could see that it was a four-star hotel located in the Orlando Airport/MCO area (the Hyatt does occasionally come up as being 3.5 star).  When I clicked on it, the page said that the Trip Adviser rating was 4.5, as it is with the Hyatt Orlando airport.


While I did get the Hyatt at the Orlando Airport via Hotwire, I was willing to end up staying at another Orlando Airport area hotel if that was the outcome. If you want to try bidding, please make sure this is the case for yourself as well.
